Eye gaze of is an informative social signal in interactions with other humans and also with virtual agents (VA). But for a successful communication, users have to accurately perceive the VA's point of gaze (POG). In our study, participants sitting opposite to a VA at a table indicated its POG by positioning a token on the table surface. We measured the perceptual accuracy within and between participants as well as the participants' response times and eye movements for five horizontally aligned gaze targets. We demonstrated that perceiving the VA met perceptual benchmarks from human lookers: a) variances within and between participants were only slightly larger, b) the VA's visual angle was linearly overestimated, and c) variances increased with the visual angle. Finally, participants showed large individual differences but were consistent in their own gaze behaviour and response times across trials and gaze targets. |
